The best restaurants in Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale South Lakeland North West

Creamtastic ice cream, we had heard that this ice cream shop was good but this was gold star ace. Very cold day but we could not have enjoyed this ice cream more.

Perfect tearooms and B&B! Stayed with my mum after doing a few days walking in the Dales. Lovely family run atmosphere with friendly hosts. Had a very tasty scone in the tearooms when I arrived and a fantastic breakfast the next morning. There was an option for freshly made pizza in the evening (I think only available on Wednesday nights) which we didn’t go for as we wanted to explore Dent a bit more but would definitely recommend it given quality of everything else we ate - they smelled delicious!

This is a lovely place that draws you in with the tempting aromas of the various coffees on offer. They serve excellent coffee, predominantly to take away, although there are two stools by the window should you wish to sit down. I suspect that space really is at a premium here, but if they could manage to fit in two or three little tables it would be superb. Highly recommended.

We visited Joey’s (the new name) every morning for a coffee while walking our dog when we stayed nearby in April. Service, coffee, cakes, pasties (including the vegan options for both) all excellent. The views over Windermere are lovely and you can visit the Claife viewing station. Less than 10 mins walk from the ferry (& loos if needed!).

Excellent breakfast, freshly cooked, great cakes and pastries, they make their own pasties and sausage rolls. Warm and friendly service

Fabulous get away I'd recommend to anyone the drive up there was brilliant too!

Simply the best place in town! It’s difficult to find fault at all with this relatively recent edition to the drinking and eating scene in Kirkby Lonsdale. Converted from an old barn, and with many original features still present, this stylish and hip brewery-styled barn really hits the spot as something special. The atmosphere inside is buzzing, and it always seems to be well populated with locals and visitors are like. The offering is based around the local brewery’s beers and spirits, all of which are excellent, and the long bar, with informal seating and upstairs mezzanine is perfect to spend a few hours sampling the drinks they offer. Try the beer sample planks to enjoy their full range! The food is limited but absolutely delicious when available. There is also occasional live music at weekends which really showcases local talent and is well worth looking out for. The staff for cheerful, energetic and knowledgeable. The range of beers is absolutely staggering, highlighted on the board above the bar and including many of the locally brewed offerings. You can also buy their spirits to take away – something I always do myself. Please don’t miss the chance to pay a visit here when you are next in town. You won’t regret it.

Not easy access for wheelchair users

Quirky little cafe. Well worth a visit . Feels like stepping back in time.

An impromptu choice to visit Plato's today and what a brilliant decision and choice. We had a really superb meal and were made to feel very welcome by Ronnie, who looked after us! We had the fish finger sourdough sandwich and the chicken and paprika mayo sandwich...accompanied by parmesan and truffle chips 🍟 😋 absolutely delicious. All washed down with a delightful glass of rose wine. We will definitely be returning. It was such a great culinary treat.

Absolutely disgusting!!! Ordered two breakfasts and wanted one with no tomatoes the lovely lady taking our order looked terrified and scared to ask. When she did ask we heard the chief/owner we heard him say “for f*** sake why can’t t they stick to the menu?” At this point the lovely lady came out looking terrified and we got up and walked out. Definitely DO NOT recommend!!!

Absolutely brilliant Up here for a couple of nights so reserved a table at 730 Faultless from start to finish great friendly staff and wonderful food will certainly return when up this way again

We had a lovely short break here, Heather the manager was very welcoming, very pleasant atmosphere, rooms are quite large and clean, The meals from Guy the chef (Heathers partner) are very very scrumptious, everything fresh and cooked beautifully, All the staff very helpful and attentive, including Micheal and Arafat at the bar, A peaceful quiet retreat, I would recommend trying, and we will visit again.

Great pub & exceptional breakfast. Staff are very pleasant & accommodating. Would recommend 👌

A lovely cafe serving delicious freshly prepared food. The vegetarian breakfast ciabatta was gorgeous and very filling. What a lovely combination with avocado, chickpeas and vegetarian sausage etc. The breakfast ciabatta (with meat) was also nicely presented and enjoyable. We are so glad we paid a visit - easy to park outside in the pay and display carpark too. Will definitely return!
